1 credits · Graduate

This participatory graduate seminar examines how STEM talent, networks, resources, institutions, and social norms influence innovation ecosystems, with a focus on Latin America. Students analyze ecosystem dynamics and challenges related to infrastructure, education, climate, sustainability, and other regionally relevant issues. Working in international pairs with peers from a partner institution in Mexico, students will develop skills in contextual inquiry, ecosystem mapping, design inquiry, and reflective practice, and produce a joint ecosystem analysis and problem framing for a challenge of mutual interest.
